BB

there are two of those on this team. and given your penchant for sarcasm, it was pretty difficult to tell who you were talking about

I like this line-up

I’d like it a little better if Salty was starting, though… not because I think Laird is worthless (I don’t, for the record) but with all the other youngsters in the lineup, it would just feel right.

Grieve: The Yanks have struggled so far. - Lewin: Yeah, cry me a bag of money.

by WhipSmart on Apr 30, 2008 6:34 PM CDT reply reply actions actions   0 recs

Salty should be starting...

seeing as Laird is right-handed facing a righty tonight, and Salty switch-hits.

I’m assuming Millwood wanted Laird.

Doubt it...

I think it’s just Wash spliting time between the 2 right now.

Rangers haven't faced a

lefty starter since Salty joined the team and aren’t scheduled to until this Sunday in Oakland.

Lineup for those too lazy to find it:

Kinsler 2B
Young SS
Hamilton DH
Bradley RF
Murphy CF
Shelton 1B
Boggs LF
Laird C
Duran 3B

He has allowed 7 runs and 13 hits in his last 11.2 innings

And the Royals have only been getting him about 3 runs of support a game. I think we’ve got a chance.

there was a study a few months ago

that ran every single MLB game for the last 100+ years 10,000 times and found that it was more or less amazing that no one has come close to Joltin’ Joe…

Grieve: The Yanks have struggled so far. - Lewin: Yeah, cry me a bag of money.

by WhipSmart on Apr 30, 2008 7:19 PM CDT to parent up reply reply actions actions   0 recs

yep

but it said that almost all of those longer hit streaks would have been between 1890’s thru 1930’s.

by Randy Richardson on Apr 30, 2008 7:20 PM CDT to parent up reply reply actions actions   0 recs

realistically, though

I’m with you… I think that’s a record that will remain for a very long time..

Grieve: The Yanks have struggled so far. - Lewin: Yeah, cry me a bag of money.

by WhipSmart on Apr 30, 2008 7:22 PM CDT to parent up reply reply actions actions   0 recs

I question those results

To my understanding, that study just took the stats for each player and determined the percentage of the time that a given player would get a hit in any particular game. I don’t believe that there was any consideration of multi-hit games, and I know there was no factoring of game score, situation, etc. Basically, those 80+ game hitting streaks that were simulated would have resulted in some astronomical batting averages. To my recollection, anyway.

Ya when I was a senior at HP

They were just trying to install the TAKS, so they did a test run with us.

Unfortunatly they told us that this test would in no way count towards anything on your academic record, that it was going to be thrown out after the testing period.

Every answer was B, and I think I set the record for completion at about 5 and a half mins.

September

He has to be added to the 40 man this next winter so I think he would get brought up. I think at the end of August whichever veterans we have that are blocking youngsters and are expendable will get their release in time to sign with a playoff team if they so choose and it opens up spots on the 40 man so guys like JMJ, Hurley (if hes not already here) and Teagarden can be added and brought up in September.

Heh....

you fuckers knee jerk on here so much. Yes, that was an awesome slam…. and I like Hambone too. Volquez has done ok in Cincy. When you say A+ trade, that is a like stealing candy from a baby from the other team. An A+ trade is a Zambrano-Kazmir or a CHRIS YOUNG/A-GONZ DEAL. Sorry, I like the move overall but it’s not A+.

Edinson Volquez

will not have an ERA below 4 this year. He might not even have one below 4.5.

Freakin book it.

A+

Doesn’t have to be a STEAL. Its how much he is producing for your TEAM and Hambone is doing a lot

But it's more fun

to knee jerk and get all pissed off, then, when something good happens, it’s like we won the frickin’ lottery. Manic then depressive, manic then depressive. ‘Tis a vicious cycle.

If Bone wins the AL MVP, then I'll eat a shit sandwich.

I’m not too worried about that with the talent in the AL. However, if Volquez wins the Cy Young, he’d probably have about 20 wins. If he’s that talented, I think that it’s like taking 6 steps forward by getting Hambone and 6 steps back by not having Volquez winning those 20 games for the Rangers. If Hambone is a 280/30/110 or better player and Volquez has a 4.80ish era or higher and goes 10-10, that’s probably a plus for Texas.

I can’t believe you guys are ready to grade this trade an A+ already.

I'm not saying that either of those will happen

I’m just questioning your theory on what makes an A+ trade.

BTW—I believe there’s a much better chance of Hamilton winning the MVP than Volquez winning the CY.

by robert_d_wilfong on Apr 30, 2008 8:12 PM CDT to parent up reply reply actions actions   0 recs

I agree with you on those prospects.

I really don’t care what you think about what constitutes an A+ trade or how I think it should be. How can you say it is an A+ trade in April of the first year? That’s the big mystery to me.

it might be too early too tell

but it doens’t have to be lopsided to be a+. If hamilton continues on this pace, he will be the best offensive player in the american league. that is a+. not saying that will happen, just saying that a+ is possible even if volquez turns otu to be good

Did anyone else think that was a popup off the bat?

How did he hit that out? Ridiculousness. The KC announcers (the one’s I’m getting on Extra Innings) seemed to think it was a popup and then were like, “Wait, the wind is blowing this one out!”

Me, I think Hambone is just that freaking strong.
